These are just a few problematic sidebar templates for U.S. politicians who have ran for the presidency of some other notable office. But these sidebars shouldn't be around given the few links, uses, and the lack of aid in navigation for the subject matter. Some of the are unused or used on the subject matter's article, linked to article sections. The last three, Herman Cain, Eric Adams, Henry Clay are barely used. Sidebars should be for the more prominent, in this case, American politicians, those who are or have been president, and if they have run for the highest office like that for Hillary Clinton. Clinton is more prominent given her long career. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:53, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. The templates improve the pages that they are used on, and the claim that Hillary Clinton is more prominent than all of these individuals is unpersuasive, especially given the inclusion of a template relating to (for example) Henry Clay. I don't think that winning a party's nomination for president should be a necessary condition for a U.S. politician to have one of these templates. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 05:24, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Well Henry Clay's series doesn't have enough to stand on its own. Really I can't see why any of these have to stay. The Ted Cruz series failed for the same reason. He ran for president, didn't get the nomination or win. And yet there wasn't enough for navigation which is what all seven of these have.--WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:22, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Per Mikehawk10. Pennsylvania2 (talk) 14:13, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep especially given the precedent it could set, but also I think they are generally helpful. Calibrador (talk) 13:37, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Keep as these are navigation templates and they might be better argued on an individual basis. You might want to also alert the main article's talk page for discussion as well. – The Grid (talk) 16:47, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Single use template, not so heavy as to require a separate page. Izno (talk) 00:22, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Delete If the information can be put onto a page then it should. But not on a template. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:15, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
